The water temperature data for this station are
temporary and will only be displayed for 120 days. Although
the instrumentation is calibrated at least once/year, the
temporary classification means that documented routine
inspections and other quality assurance measures are not
performed that would make the data acceptable for archival,
retrieval, or future use in general scientific or interpretive
studies.
